Serves 2
Ingredients
  • 2 chicken breasts (approx 400g total weight), cubed
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 large carrots, sliced
  • 4 tsp of dijon mustard (1 syn)
  • 1 tablespoon of honey (3 syns)
  • 224g of fat free cream cheese (2 HEa’s)
  • 320ml of hot chicken stock
  • fresh chopped parsley
  • salt and black pepper
  • low calorie spray
Instructions
  1. Add the sliced carrots to a steamer pan above boiling hot water, and steam until slightly tender, drain and add to a bowl of cold water to prevent them from cooking any further.
  2. Spray a frying pan with low calorie spray and brown the onion and the chicken.
  3. In a jug whisk together the stock, cream cheese, honey and mustard
  4. Pour this into the frying pan and slowly bring to a boil, reduce heat, add carrots and simmer covered for about 15 mins, the sauce should slightly thicken, if it gets too thick, stir in a little more stock.
  5. Season with salt and black pepper and sprinkle with fresh chopped Italian parsley.
  6. Serve with your choice of sides. I served this with steamed rice and sauteed zucchini (courgette).
